10 Ways To Cover A Big Wall In Your Home
Large, affordable artwork can be difficult to find. For something a little more wallet-friendly, create a custom piece yourself. You do not have to be super artistic to make something that looks good. Find a few lengths of gorgeous fabric and simply wrap a piece around a pre-stretched canvas and staple in place. Continue to wrap three rectangular panels or canvases in fabric. Hang them at different heights on your wall to make them look bigger.
2. Textiles
Tapestries, vintage quilts, or even antique blankets can be too lovely to keep folded and hidden away. Instead, hang it from the wall to bring unique character and texture to your space.To keep the look cohesive with the rest of your decor, focus on color.
3. Gallery wall
You can never have too much of a good thing — especially when it comes to art hung in groups. One idea that results in a perfectly balanced look is to hang two larger pieces diagonally from each other, then fill the empty space above or below each of those larger pieces with smaller pieces. Make sure to stick to similar colors or subjects to pull everything together.
4. Wallpaper
Frame strips of wallpaper with a unifying theme like similar content, color, or pattern. Select a thin white frame in the largest size possible to create the look of panel molding.
5. Shelve your art
If the idea of hanging multiple pieces makes you nervous, floating shelves can be a great shortcut. You can switch out the art and objects as you please, change frames out when you’re updating your decor, and you don’t have to worry about smacking 18 holes in the wall.
6. Murals
A dramatic mural adds glamour to an enormous wall, especially when there are ultrahigh ceilings. It can truly showcase a home if it’s done right, with an appropriate piece of art that fits the look and feel of the particular place.
7. Washi tape
Washi tape is removable, colorful tape that is very versatile. One of our favorite ideas is using the tape to create a bold graphic statement. A design that spans the entire wall tends to look higher-end than a few random stripes. When applied to the wall in neat rows, they take on the look of wallpaper.
8. Do just one wall
Decorating one large wall can have a huge impact. Leave at least one wall in every room art-free, particularly in smaller spaces. Two is even better. This provides a resting place for your eye and prevents the feeling of ‘overwhelm.
9. Expand shelf options
Look beyond art when looking to fill a blank wall — especially if you also happen to have high ceilings. Wide, tall bookcases are great, they take up a ton of room and are a fun place to go wild with your collected objects. Just don’t fill up the shelves completely. Instead, display individual pieces in edited groups on each shelf. On the top shelf, you can lean framed pieces.
10. Hang mirrors
A mass of mirrors offer a lovely way to fill a large wall. They reflect light and they are really beautiful. Interesting mirrors can often be found at thrift stores or discount stores for less than the price of art.
